Some operators fly drones. We deploy to the most remote and challenging environments on Earth and deliver mission-critical data. We spend months of the year in tents in the Arctic. We've worked in jungles, offshore, and everywhere in between. When your project takes you to the middle of nowhere, we're already equipped to get the job done.

This isn't about adventure - it's about capability. Remote operations require a different level of preparation, self-sufficiency, and operational discipline. We've built our entire organization around operating autonomously in places where support isn't coming if something goes wrong.

Arctic Drone Operations

Our work in Canada's High Arctic demonstrates true remote capability. For the Bruce Head Narwhal Monitoring Program, we operate from shore-based camps on North Baffin Island for 30-day deployments, conducting both high altitude and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights extending up to 5 kilometers from launch.

Arctic operations present unique challenges. Extreme cold exposure requires comprehensive HSE protocols including wind chill monitoring, mandatory thermal PPE, rotating work schedules, and immediate response protocols for frostbite and hypothermia. Complete self-sufficiency is essential - medical assistance may be hours or days away. Our teams maintain Wilderness First Aid certification and carry comprehensive emergency response capabilities. Operating in sensitive Arctic environments requires species-specific disturbance protocols and permits developed from scratch for each program. High-altitude BVLOS operations in remote areas require Special Flight Operations Certificates with comprehensive risk assessments and detect-and-avoid procedures.

Marine Drone Services

Our marine capabilities extend from coastal estuaries to open water operations. We integrate aerial, surface, and underwater data collection into unified workflows.

Recent marine deployments include river discharge studies with multi-sensor campaigns integrating RPAS data, ADCP hydrographic transects, and RTK surveying for hydrodynamic baseline studies. Pinniped monitoring programs develop standardized protocols for seal and sea lion population surveys in estuarine and riverine environments. Bathymetric mapping combines aerial LiDAR with SONAR data to create seamless above-and-below-water surface models. Surface vessel operations include raft deployment on remote rivers, ferry support for field teams, and integration with broader marine mammal observation programs.

Diverse Terrain Capability

Beyond Arctic and marine environments, we've operated across challenging terrain worldwide. Mountain and canyon operations involve complex terrain mapping in areas where topography creates significant operational challenges. Mine sites and industrial facilities require erosion monitoring, structural assessment, and topographical analysis at legacy and active operations. Remote infrastructure corridors demand inspection and mapping along hydrolines and marine corridors where manual access is difficult or dangerous.

Each environment requires specific preparation: site surveys, wildlife assessments, weather analysis, emergency response planning, and equipment configuration - all completed before arrival on site.

Complex Airspace and Regulatory Compliance

Remote doesn't mean unregulated. Operating in Canada's most isolated regions often means navigating complex regulatory requirements.

We prepare complete Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) applications for operations beyond standard rules - BVLOS, high altitude, heavy lift, and more. For operations involving protected species, we develop disturbance protocols and obtain necessary wildlife permits before deployment. Even in remote areas, we maintain communication protocols and coordinate with relevant authorities. Every operation produces complete records: flight logs, safety assessments, incident reports, and compliance documentation.

True Operational Autonomy

What makes remote operations possible isn't just equipment - it's the complete infrastructure of planning, safety management, and field capability allowing independent operation.

Our field deployments include complete HSE oversight with safety management plans developed specifically for each operation. Multi-role field teams are trained across safety supervision, data collection, equipment operation, and technical consulting, allowing small teams to accomplish complex missions. Redundant systems provide backup equipment, contingency procedures, and emergency protocols for every scenario. Comprehensive emergency response covers cold exposure protocols, evacuation procedures, wildlife encounter responses, and medical emergency capabilities.

Ready for Remote Operations

When your project takes you to the edge of the map, you need a team already equipped to operate there. We've built our capability around being deployable anywhere - with the documentation, safety systems, and field experience to deliver results in the most challenging environments.
